Post-Pandemic Solutions: A Public Option for Universal Healthcare

I am so excited to share that I haves a published my latest op-ed Post-Pandemic Solutions: A Public Option for Universal Healthcare in The Health Care Blog.

The coronavirus pandemic overtook the end of the Democratic primary season and amplified the focus on the remaining candidates’ healthcare platforms. Throughout the primaries, the public option platform has faced criticism that it will simply maintain the status quo. This criticism inspired me to write this piece, because a large-scale public option program could actually help to reshape the US healthcare system and result in improvements in access to care in this country, ultimately getting us to universal healthcare.
